Seining pond for fish
Tugging the net from both ends
Bountiful harvest.
Chickens, night harvest
Caged for famous Chez Panisse
Transformed for night meal.
Emus layed green eggs
Carefully incubated
Striped chicks soon emerge.
Bats fly over pond
Drinking before the bug hunt
My insect control.
Butterflies travel
Flying their way over roads
A fateful slaughter.
Tiny dirt craters
Spread all along the driveway
Antlions hunting.
Baby emu hatched
Harbored in our living room
Avian house guest.
African tortoise
Can hear and comes to take food
Unexpected move.
Hummingbird takes drink
Whirring wings announce it's there
Tiny bird brings joy.
Feeding fish each day
Casting pellets along shore
Floating food shows pod.
Milking Jersey cow
Pulling teats on udder yields
Warm creamy liquid.
Captive Honey bees
Housed in fully planned shelters
Mindless controlled life.
European bees
If left too near a Buckeye
Take fatal pollen.
Raising noble swans
Must be wary of quick wings
Their blow yields bad wounds.
Firepole in the barn
Fulfilled a dream of the boys
Quick exit--bedroom.
Hay harvest stops fire.
No need--purchase other hay
All I need is here.
Potbellied pigs, loved
Economy size for meat
Vietnam culture.
Pulling in the net
Bony fish fin cut through boot
The fish's revenge?
Piano lessons
At six. Stern teacher. I left.
All well with cello.
Bad fish allergy
Rolled on floor before they knew
At fifty ate fish!
